Baylor’s offense getting national hype

Baylor has broken the Floyd Casey Stadium scoring record each of the last two weeks.

It almost seems like a bad time for the Bears to take off before their next game on Sept. 21 against Louisiana-Monroe.

“There are two ways to look at it,” Baylor coach Art Briles said. “It is what it is. We have an open date and we’ll deal with it.

“We’ve got some guys who are banged up some who will get a little time off this week, but on the flip side we have been pretty effective when we’ve stepped out on the field, so you’d kind of like to stay on that streak.

“But it is what it is. We’ll pick up a week from now and we’re going to keep rolling.”

Baylor’s quick start has received some attention outside the Big 12’s footprint.

Phoenix-based Andy Greenberg has some nice things to say about Briles and his team, calling Bryce Petty a “stylized clone” of his predecessors Robert Griffin III and Nick Florence. His blog Arizona Sports.com calls Baylor “The most exciting team you aren’t watching…yet.”
